Physics at Birkbeck College

The Birkbeck College Physics Department closed as of 1 October 1997. Some of its teaching and research activities have moved to the Department of Physics & Astronomy at University College London. Another part of it has remained at Birkbeck as the Theoretical Physics Research Unit. Please see below for more details.

If you wish to do a part-time physics degree, apply directly to Birkbeck and you will be automatically considered for the UCL course.

We will try to supply further information as it becomes available, but if you have any questions now e-mail us, or contact us as outlined below.

The Condensed Matter Research Group has transferred to the Department of Physics & Astronomy at University College London with effect from 1 October 1997, and is now part of a very substantial experimental and theoretical group with a very wide range of research activities in condensed matter science. Those who have transferred to UCL are:

Professor K.A. McEwen
Dr. Michael de Podesta, who has gone to the NPL as of 01/04/00.
Dr. Stan W. Zochowski
Dr. Mark Ellerby

Research studentships will be available. Nationals of a member state of the EU may apply directly to the European Commission for a Training and Mobility of Researchers (TMR) Grant to work with us.

Also transferred to UCL in teaching support roles are

Dr. M. Coupland, who is now the part-time admissions tutor and part-time tutor at UCL Physics & Astronomy. Contact him at 020 7679 3290 or e-mail him.
J. Houghton, who has left for greener pastures.

The Physics Centre is still running, with the same aims and activities, as the UCL Department of Physics & Astronomy Science Centre.
